Canon Powershot SD30 charging help?

Apr 19, 2008 by jembogawa | Posted in Cameras

I've had my Canon Powershot SD30 camera for a while now. Both my batteries have gone dead. I plugged the camera dock into my (new) computer but it wont charge. I can't find the camera box, or the driver CD. It used to charge on my old computer, after I'd installed the drivers.
Can anyone please tell me where I can download the SD30 drivers for Windows XP, or if not, what type of charger I would need to buy?
Thanks

Hi

I had a look on the Canon site, any downloads for the SD-30 can be found here:
http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=SupportDetailTabAct&fcategoryid=224&modelid=11774#DownloadDetailAct
(You need to select XP for your OS)

And here is a link to all compatible accessories, including battery packs, chargers and power cables:

What is a good memory card for a canon powershot sd30?

Jul 19, 2006 by Myung Ji | Posted in Cameras


whichever one holds the most and is cheapest. otherwise brand doesn't matter so much.

cziizi | Jul 20, 2006

from what I've been told all memory cards are the same. if you can get a generic its just as good as name brands. as long as you get the sd card you should be alright
STPM | Jul 19, 2006

You want a good Memory card! Sandisk makes good ones! Good is the Ultra II or BEST is the Extreme III! but you want a camera thats is capable of recording it as that speed! if you want the extreme III!!
vaiosoft | Jul 19, 2006

As far as brands, Sandisk and Lexar are the best. The first answer of all memory cards are the same is not true. I've heard bad stories about the PNY brand and I've had trouble with other brands. Sizes all depends upon the pictures you want to take.

Any good deals on this camera?

You could probably get a really good deal on ebay.com, I bought my camera from there for very cheap and it's pretty much new. So check it out!

canon powershot sd30 question. what mode allows you to take the FASTEST photos, (like fast action shots)?

Jan 17, 2007 by jde2399 | Posted in Cameras

does turninf the flash off?? the ai assist off? what are the best settings to take a picture the second the button is pressed!!!! once in a lifetime FAST shot...

SD30? isnt that old? well you should put it in sports mode. That will allow the fastest shutter speed.

Koko | Jan 17, 2007

Really, I can't think of a GOOD way to do that.
Turning the flash off and setting to manual focus (if you already have the camera at a set distance from the subject - and the focus set) would make the camera take a picture nearly as soon as you press the shutter button.
BUT... If the subject is moving, it will be blurry.
Perhaps half-pressing the shutter button (with flash on and using auto-focus) would help. That way it is already focused, the flash is charged and the camera is ready to take a picture.
But you likely won't want to stand around with your finger on the shutter button waiting for something to happen.

You could always use the 'continous drive' (holding down shutter keeps taking pictures until memory is full - 1.8 pics a second). You won't have flash for all the pictures (not 100% sure - but highly doubt it). Auto-focus will be set at whatever distance the first picture focused on.
Then just keep taking pictures till something happens or your memory gets full and you have to format.

None of these sound like good options to me, but perhaps some may be helpful.
digital camera tech | Jan 17, 2007

With any camera you have three primary modes of operation. The Auto mode, Aperture mode and the Shutter mode. In the shutter mode you should have different shutter speeds from "bulb" to what ever the highest is in fractions of a second. Anything from about a thousands of a sec. or better is well suited for sports events for example. Some even have auto shutter priority as well as auto-aperture priority modes so worrying about the F stop at a given speed and ISO is not a great problem. The rule there is as you speed up the shutter you have to "open" the lens by using a LOWER number F stop. For example: an f stop of 22 at a speed of 100th of a second would go to about an f stop of 2.8 at 1000th of a second. The "once in a life time" shot would get missed UNLESS you plan ahead. At a NASCAR race, set your camera up for speed rather than aperture. Fast taken pics (at high enough ISO setting) will capture those cars but lack a bit of quality on long crowd shots due to the smaller depth of field that you would have compared to slower shutter speeds.
Dusty | Jan 17, 2007

To lessen shutter lag (the delay between pressing the shutter button to the time the photo is taken) you should half press the shutter button first to set the focus...then wait for the right moment before pressing the button all the way down.

Also, you should turn off the flash & AIAF and use single focus mode instead.
Normally turning off the LCD and using the viewfinder will help...but your camera does not have a viewfinder.

Your camera doesn't give you the option to select your preferred shutter speed, so you will have to use one of the scene modes instead...and the only one that will probably apply a faster shutter speed...is "kids & pets".
In bright outdoor lighting conditions, the camera should also apply a faster shutter speed.
And you could also use continuous mode to try and capture at least one or two good shots.

Also, make sure you are using a fast SD card, such as the Sandisk Ultra II.

But if you want a camera that can shoot instantly the shutter is pressed...you will need a digital SLR camera.
Good luck.

power cable for camera station of powershot sd 30?

Feb 17, 2008 by reza z | Posted in Cameras

I have a canon powershot sd30 camera. unfortunately my camera station was stolen. I could manage to buy a camera station but mistakenly the power chord was lapsed. Now I cant use the camera station for charging the camera or for downloading the pictures. Any help?

There are plenty of sources on eBay, or you can just buy a replacement charger and ditch the dock.

One source for a new dock and power supply:

Can a normal digital camera be used as a webcam?

Feb 09, 2008 by Tara J | Posted in Cameras

My digital camera is a Canon PowerShot SD30, I have all the wires that came with it, how can I set it up as a webcam?

No

Web cams use a totally different technology. They are very low resolution cameras with very small sensors and they use the power from the computer to operate

Your SD30 is a high resolution camera and to use it as a web cam (if it could) would run the cameras batteries down within less than an hour.

Which camera is the better buy?

Oct 07, 2006 by BurntxOrange | Posted in Cameras

Sony Cyber-shot® DSC-W100 Digital Camera
Kodak Easyshare V603
Canon PowerShot SD30
I`m buying one of these and i need your answers ;]
Ohh yeahh forgott.
Can you also tell me if one of these cameras can record a video too?

Don't bother with the Kodak...it's not very good (optically).
I usually recommend Canon, but in this case I would say that the Sony is better.
Because...(it has 3 extra megapixels than the Canon, has slightly more zoom, a stronger flash, and a better movie mode, 30fps V 10 fps at 60X480).
